After all, in Ballarat you used to be able to ride a tram right to the site of
the Victoria Stockade.

Funnily enough, when I was in Melbourne for the 2000 Light Rail Conference I
did a delightful day trip to Bendigo and picked up a pamphlet for the Rifle
Brigade Hotel ... meant to stay there on last year's Vic visit but never got
round to it. Maybe next time ... glad to see it's recognised by the fans,
anyway!
